Framework
Who we are? Noor Educational and Capacity
Development Organization
(NECDO) is a non-governmental,
impartial and non-political
organization, registered with
Ministry of Economy in 2002 with
INO.95. NECDO was established in
January 2001 by a group of
volunteers to help and support
needy Afghan women, youth, and
children when the Afghan nation
was passing through time-tested
moments of its history in
Peshawar Afghan Refugee Camps.
The destructive civil war resulted
in material and spiritual losses for
the nation. NECDO started its
activities with little means, but
greatness of purpose, which was
based on humanitarian and
development assistance. We
believe that unity, faith, proper
mobilization of youth &
empowerment of Afghan
communities can reduce the
miseries of the Afghan nation.
During our social activities in
camps, we realized the need for
education, capacity building and
income generation projects in
order to help our nation with
sustainable development;
especially educating Afghan
women, youth, and children were
the priorities set forth; with the
believe that it is better to light a
candle rather than curse the
darkness we initiated several
projects and implemented them
successfully.
During the month of September NECDO held two workshops for scholars, social
activist, women rights activist, government employees, NGO employees, teachers,
students and other men and women from different areas. One of the workshops
conducted in Bagh-E-Zanana on Sept 23th of 2016 and there were 30 participants.
Other workshop conducted at teacher’s selected council on Sept 24th of 2016 and
25 participants. All of the participants were very active so most of them were
selected as CWG (Community Working Group) members. They were very pleased
by the workshops and they recommended that such workshops should be held
regularly for men.
The training agenda are the following:
1. Violence against women in Afghanistan
2. Short review of EVAW law
3. Five core rights of women in Islam
4. Muslim women’s7h responsibilities in family
5. Gender

The Tenth of Muharram and Ashurah.
The Islamic year begins with Muharram ul Haram, the first month of the Hijri Calendar. While followers of other
religions spend their opening month in worthless merriment, the first month of Islam teaches us lessons of
admonition, good counseling, knowledge of Allah Ta’ala, sacrifice, selflessness, patience and seeking the
pleasure of Allah Ta’ala.
The tenth day of Muharram (Ashurah) has many distinctive qualities and features. Allah Ta’ala created the
heavens and the earth on this blessed day. On this day He gave His infinite blessings and bounties to many of
His Prophets and delivered them from the clutches of their enemies.
Allah Ta’ala created Hazrat Adam (Alaihis-Salam) in this month, pardoned him of his mistake, and Hazrat Noah’s
(Alaihis-Salam) Ark landed successfully on Mount Judi, and he saved Hazrat Ibrahim (Alaihis-Salam) from fire
and rescued Hazrat Musa (Alaihis-Salam) from Pharaoh.
On the first of Muharram offer 2 rakats Nafl prayer. In each rakat after Surah Fateha recite Surah Ikhlas 3 times.
After the Salam pray to Allah Ta’ala for all your needs and desires. From the blessing of this prayer, Allah Ta’ala
will appoint an angel for such a person. The angel will guide him or her to do only good deeds and prevent them
in engaging in sinful acts.On the eve of "Ashurah" offer 100 rakats Nafl. In each rakat recite Surah Ikhlas 3 times
after Surah Fateha. After Salam recite first ‘Kalimah’ 100 times. Allah Ta’ala will forgive all the sins of such a
person.
Workshop on capacity building for civil society organizations and some central provinces on the content of two
published handbook for human rights of the United Nations system and civil society on human rights and how
to keep track of the orders of the United Nations human rights mechanisms was held On the 25th September of
2016 at human right’s independent commission. The participants of this workshop were women and men from
civil society, women right activist, other organizations and NECDO team. As per agenda the workshop started by
the recitation of the holy Quran. After that the executive chief of human right’s independent commission
thanked UNAMA for this workshop. Then Mr. Ramizpor continued the workshop presentation through the
Power Point and the program ended at 02:00PM. NECDO team was very active in this workshop, and the
suggestions that gave to the UNAMA were appreciated.
